ALICE Ch 240.1

A minute ago, the **** had Faye buzzing. Now Alice’s dumbass weird Irish girlfriend has the consistency of Jello.

Alice cleans up, then checks herself in the bathroom mirror for any obvious signs of messiness. Satisfied that she’s hygienic enough for bed, she casts one last look at her reflection. Naked in a fully lit room, now that sexy time is over, all the self-consciousness comes back. She tries not to think about Diorgasm as she puts on a clean pair of briefs and slides into bed with Faye, who is already asleep, mouth wide open, snoring.

Last night, Alice had a dream where she was stalled out in the middle of the track. Everyone else was shooting past her; the race was just going on normally. She pushed buttons and tried to go, but it was like the right button was just out of reach. Like a word on the tip of her tongue.

Alice turns off the light and stares in the dark.
